This no-cook relish lends a beautiful color and interesting textures to the turkey plate. It’s great for sandwiches, too.

The original recipe called for 10 kumquats; we used gooseberries instead due to their current availability and because they are somewhat less tart and citrusy than kumquats. If you can’t find gooseberries, use coarsely chopped peel-on navel orange.

Make ahead: The relish can be refrigerated in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 1 month. Defrost overnight in the refrigerator.

12 ounces fresh cranberries

12 to 14 fresh gooseberries, rinsed (see headnote)

Flesh of 1 navel orange, coarsely chopped (no pith)

1/3 cup granulated sugar

1/2 cup packed light brown sugar

1/2 cup pine nuts, toasted (see NOTE)

1/3 cup Grand Marnier or cherry heering (may substitute 3 tablespoons pomegranate molasses mixed with 2 tablespoons water)

Combine the cranberries and gooseberries in a food processor. Pulse just long enough for them to be coarsely chopped, then transfer to a mixing bowl.

Stir in the orange, both sugars, pine nuts and liqueur, until well incorporated. Let sit for at least 15 minutes, then stir again before serving or storing.

NOTE: Toast the pine nuts in a small dry skillet over medium-low heat until fragrant and lightly browned, shaking the pan to avoid scorching. Cool completely before using.
